Ok have just about finished restoring my FJ 40 and have replaced the fuel tank with one of the one's that fit behind the rear diff, now i cant get it started .
I dont seem to be able to get any fuel up to the carby ( 2F motor )

Does any one have any pic's / idea wich pipe goes were as i cant figure out what is going on with this tank.

Any help would be great.

Havent seen the tank you're talking about as mine is under my seat (incab) but it cant be too complicated. Lowest outlet on tank should be supply - goes to mechanical fuel pump on D/side of motor. Depending on how many ports there are left on the tank they should all be higher than the supply. One will be return and one will possibly be breather to filler neck.

Pics might help

ps: you did put fuel in the new tank right? :finger:

Hay yes there is fuel in the tank ( 20 lt ) verry first thing done.
The tank has 4 (3/8 inch) outlets and 2 additional (1/2 inch) breather outlets wich join up to a 3rd on the filler neck.

Cant post pic's as have no idea....

can email pic's.
